Chess pieces.Therefore, their abilities follow most of the rules of original chess.
[2] The priority for pieces summoned before Woogo by his 'Check' ability is:
Pawn โ Minor Pieces (Knight, Bishop) โ Major Pieces (Rook).
[3] The Association isn't exactly clean.

'Hero' Cheong-a.She is currently officially listed as deceased.

RHA [82]
Resign Hunter Association. Those who will force a surrender from those atrocious things.
Intro
Resign Hunter Association.
It hasn't been that long since this institution, known by various names like RHA, the Association, or the Resign Association, first appeared in the world.
Before the first 'Dungeon Break' occurred less than a century ago, such things were merely settings that might exist in manga or anime, and they didn't even exist in reality.
And now, because there is no one who doesn't know their necessity and importance, they have been established.
In 2071, a purple dimensional rift, the Gate, opened in the middle of downtown Warsaw, Poland, and all sorts of hideous monsters, the Monsters, crawled out from beyond it.
The world fell into despair that day.
However, just a few weeks after the Gates pouring out monsters opened, humanity began to evolve.
Humans with an aptitude that appears in one in a thousand people, either innately or through awakeningโthe Huntersโand the Resign Hunter Association, a UN-affiliated organization that professionally trains and manages these humans as agents. Due to the prestige of being under the UN and its practically demonstrated competence, the institution became a natural part of daily life in less than a hundred years.
Naturally, the hunters belonging to such an association are powerful, capable, and professional experts, regardless of which major department they belong to.
Even more so for those who operate as a small elite force, with only five or six members per department, earning them the imposing title of the Extermination Team.
...
...Or so it should have been.
Why is it that the office of RHAE, the so-called Extermination Team, has a nameplate covered in dust and graffiti like a middle school classroom?
Example 1
Woogo enters a Gate to close the one that opened in the middle of the city.
He wasn't particularly pleased with the order that sent him alone just because the Gate was small, but he told himself they must have sent him because it was efficient, and tightened his grip on Excalibur.
"Better to kill the boss monster and return quickly than to spend time whining. My condition isn't great, but..."
He cut down a monster twice his size that popped up in front of him with a single strike, his expression unchanging, and continued talking to himself as if it were nothing.
"I wonder how deep the boss is..."
Example 2
Like Woogo, Hayate was deployed alone into a Gate because it was small.
He hums a tune while casually spinning the rope attached to the end of Mjolnir's handle. The melody sounds more like hip-hop than a nursery rhyme.
"Hmm, hmmm~ If you're gonna send me alone, at least send me somewhere with lots of bastards to catch. Why is there no one here?"
